THE COMING OF THE CROWS.
A Favorable Omen Discovered at the
White House.

A Favorable Omen Discovered at the
White House,
From Washington Letter to Nelc York Herald.
The President and Mrs Cleveland are alb
sent, far away from the Blue room. where
they took each other "for better for worse"
one year ago to-day. In the White House
there Were only few keepers to celebrate
the anniversary, and of course they cele-
brated in their own way, but without state
ceremonies.
AN OMEN.
The anniversary, however, was marked
by very unusual event. The crow Is q bird
generally of little or no domestic instinct.
As a rule, it avoids the habitations of men.
In the rare instances when the crows gather
around mans dwelling and build their
nests in the trees around his house the man
is said to be favored Of fortune beyond the
luck of his fellows. No wise man, It is said.
ever tried TO chase the crows from his door.
They bring good luck along with them.
A PREsAGE OF HAPPINESS.
Their presence means, according to those
who know these things, that the family
under their patronage will live long and
prosper; that the members thereof will not
be scattered or divided, nnd that the head
of the family will not soon be disturbed. 1t
means, according TO the sages, happy con-
ttnuance of present felicity. To-day IL was
discovered that the crows had begun to
build their nests in the trees in front of the
White House. One black crow sat cawing
all day in a tall tree near the window Of
Mrs. Cleveland's room. This attracted the
attention of Doorkeeper Dubois, whose de
tective instinct discovered that the crow
had built its nest there. 1t was the first
crows nest ever discovered within the limits
OF this city. The coming of the crows on
the White House grounds portends that
President and Mrs. Cleveland will live
happily together in the White House for
many years to come.

Books in Colors.
From the philadelphia Times.

Among the popular fads in New York So
ciety is the binding of books in colors which
harmonic with particular costumes and
which may thereafter be considered a part
Of the costumes themselves. One wealthy
belle, who affects the lamented Mr. Shake
speare, has had all of that authors books
bound in a brilliant red, not because it is
any more serviceable than brown or black,
but because it adds to the richness of her
brunette complexion. Still another, blue
eyed beauty of the typical blonde type,
reads, In Memoriamn bound in blue and
gold, and fancies all the while that the Lau-
reate's lines are more thrilling because blue
and gold are her colors by divine and human
right. Thus it is that 1.-THE literary move

Sugar Culture in Florida.
jacksonville News.


Capt. Rhodes, an enterprising. public
spirited gentleman from the new County
of Osceola, was in the city Monday. and
gave us some very interesting details in
connection with his sugar plantation at
the head of Lake Okeechobee Captain
Rhodes believes that Florida will. in
a very few years, be recognized as
the sugar producing State of the South
outstripping Louisiana i'm this great in
dustry. He now has over 100 acres in
cultivation, and next year will have
ready for planting sugar farm of 200 or
500 acres. Besides, he is building a large
sugar mandatory and refinery, the
machinery to stock which tat cost of
10000 is already en- route from Phila-
delphia-
Capt. Rhodes thinks the South will in
a few years produce all the sugar this
country can consume. Though we are the
biggest sugar-eaters in the WORLDLY and
have some to export besides We now
consume about fifty pounds per head
yearly and the demand is still increasing.
We pay more for our sugar than for our
flour, strange as the assertion may seem.
our sugar costing from five to ten per
cent. more than the -four. OF the 100.
900 tons of sugar consumed in the United
States 600, 900 is produced abroad and
only 100, 900 at homeless than one-tenth.
The retail price to the consumer is from
five to ten cents-On an average say sew
en- cents. If the 1900. 900 900 two bill.
iOns) pounds of foreign sugar, even at
only two cents a pound. took out of the
country yearly $40, 900 900, that of itself
is an immense sum. This shows what a
saving it will be to our people when we
can of our own product supply the home
demand.

The Question Of Burial.

Editor Of the PdIdthd Nsurs-
One question of sanitation must now
or soon be put to the people of Palatka.
1t is this: For the sake of the living shall
the burial of the dead he prohibited in
the cemetery? This is a startling ques-
ton, perhaps, to many. The time must
come, and come soon, when the GENE
terry will be overcrowded. Even now
the bones of the dead are often dis
turbed and spaded out to make room for
later dead, not Intentionally. but the
burial places of many dead are
not known. The ground surface
does not indicate any sign of burial.
Down goes the spade of the grave dig
ger and out it throws to the surface dead
mems bones, and into the pit is lowered
and buried the later dead. In case of
yellow fever, cholera, smallpox and con-
tagious epidemics, we have had such.
the dead would be laid i'm the cemetery,
and perhaps disturbed in a year or two.
The germs or seed of the epidemic
would be fresh under the nostriIs of peo-
pie attending burials.
Even now the cemetery is in the midst
of population, and habitations are
crowding on the confines of it. The air
may be insensibly polluted by emana-
tions escaping through the loose and
porous sand covering shallow graves.
How subtle are insensible influences
may be illustrated by a late instance:
A family of four lately passed, after
dark from church, along Kirby street,
next morning one of the family was az
fected with poison of rhus tOricO-den-
drOn, commonly called poison oak. The
inquiry was when and how was the
poison communicated! The vines sup
posed to have impaired the poison are
growing by rOOtlets to trees near the
culvert on Red Water Branch, and
about thirty feet from where the family
passed.
Under the new charter the city will
have power to acquire land outside of its
limits for cemetery and other purposes.
Besides the dead of the city, the people
of Palatka Heights and others for miles
around inter most of their dead i'm our
cemetery. There is a fast accumulation
of the dead in the cemetery. The ques-
ton of the discontinuance of burial in
the cemetery must be met. There must
be some limitation or restriction. 1t
would at least he prudent to allow inter
ments only to those who now own plots
and have their dead buried in the GENE
terry. The city must procure land for
cemetery purposes outside, and put it in
good condition-make good drive and
walks to it. Washington Square, i'm
New, York, was once a cemetery. The
Famous Madison Square was once, not
only a cemetery, but a ''Potter's field.
What other cities had to do, Palatka may
have To do for like reasons.

IN COMATOSE CONDITION

Strange Case of Bow Suffering from a
Nervous shock.
A dispatch from Detroit, Mich, to the
New York Times says: David Open
helm, fifteen years old, is lying at the
home of his parents in this city in con-
dition which puzzles some of the best
medical talent. He has been employed
for some time as night messenger,
and is spoken of by his employ
ers as faithful and intelligent lad. The
boys duties usually kept him up until
after daylight. An elder brother who
occupies the same room with David re-
members that about 1 O'Clock Sunday
morning the latter returned home and
crept shivering into bed. His brother
asked what was wrong, but received no
answer and soon afterward fell asleep.
When the family awoke in the morning
David was found with his head covered
under the bed clothes, apparently wide
awake but unconscious of anything go
ing on around him. When spoken to
he did not answer, but lay staring
wildly about. He remained in this pecu-
liar condition until the afternoon, when
large dog belonging to one of the
neighbors came into the house. As soon
AZ the boy saw the animal he uttered
LOUD Snrlek ana once more covered MS
head with the clothes. When his mother
rushed To his side David exclaimed:
The dog, the dog, for Gods sake
put it out After the dog had been
elected the boy became more quiet,
and when pressed by his mother to
tell what was wrong. he told in a broken
voice that at about IL O'Clock the night
before he had been sent to take mes
sage to house ON one of the principal
residence streets. When he reached the
house a large black dog jumped from
the gateway and snapped at him. In
his fright the boy ran, never stopping
until he reached his home. After telling
this much David relapsed into his coma
tose condition and has remained so ever
since. He spends the entire time in a sort
of doze, only waking sufficiently at long
inter vals to take little food, and is I'M
able to answer any question in rational
manner. A number of leading physi-
cians-in the city have been called in, and
all agree that the boy has received Sc
we're nervous shock, evidently resulting
from fright, and that the case is one of
the most remarkable instances of nerv-
Gus shock ever coming under their
notice.

BE ALWAYS Prepared.

The yellow fever scare at Key West
seems to be about over. There is another
suspicious case reported which has not
been ascertained to be yellow fever. In
fact, there is doubt expires sed that the
deaths at Key West We're really from
the dread disease.
If they were, judging from the history
of the cases at Bay st. Louis, there may
be few cases reported from time to
time until the disease dies out entirely
or becomes suddenly active and spreads
rapidly. Which course the disease may
take depends upon conditions of weather
as well as upon cleanliness.
1t is well to make early preparation.
To insist upon stricter attention to SAM
tary regulations when the epidemic is at
our doors is useless. If the bitches have
been reeking with rotting animal and
vegetable matter, if the streets have been
unclean and private premises allowed to
reek in filth, then every inhabitant has
been put in good condition for the
disease to fasten on. The human body
Is not stable thing like an
iron post but an always changing con-
gregation of organs, in which the form
even is not stable. slowly changing with
the growth, while the material is still
more unstable. Subject to the fluctu
atoms of the aerial ocean in which We
live, our bodies are affected by every
change in its constituents and the mat
ter held in solution in the form of mist
gas, bacteria or solid PARTICLES
The time, then. to prepare for an cpl
demic is long before it comes. Ii
fact, let us be always prepared for al
epidemic. Then will Palatka preserv,
the name of being a healthy town an.
all its inhabitants will profit continual,
thereby.
The action of the City Councilmen il
taking steps for the appointment of ;
Health Officer and an inspector canno
be too highly commended.

Practical Heroism.
New York World.


The brave conductor who lost his life
at Wlkesbarre in an effort to save n wo-
man and child, belongs to the band of
unknown heroes who remind the world,
from time to time, that the spirit of gen
erous self-sacrifice is still alive.
In our time many men of intellect
preach to the world gospel of despair.
A certain school of dyspeptic poets tell
us, with infinite weaEiness, that life is
not worth living, and more generous
spirits bewail what they conceive to be a
decadence of moral heroism and manly
impulses. But, after all, the world is
better than it is painted. The undaunted
martyr no longer avows his faith amidst
the climbing flames, but the spirit of
persecution which took his life is dead.
The martyr yet lives, but he is lost in the
common mass of humanity, because
kindness rules the world and the ordeal
of fire no longer brings him into promi-
nence.
The old knights have passed away, but
the sorrows and distresses of infirm hui
manly still keep busy the marshalled
chivalry of the soul. 1t is an inspiration
to know that men yet inger ON earth
who are ready to lay down their lives for
others, and to feel that the Heroic Age
abides forever.
